thank you brit...you hang in as well. I love having support here. My family and close friends are supportive but none of them have miscarried and can understand the pain.

Pups...I am not doing the opk but I did get the clear blue easy fertility monitor. I never had luck with the opk's, I hope this one will work.

If I do not ovulate based on a progesterone check at day 21 or see a peak on the monitor I am going to go back to the RE. working with OB now, RE is costly and I am still paying off the D&C and second "procedure" to remove retained placenta from earlier miscarriage.

@exctd- I haven't used the fertility monitor before. I've heard mixed things about it. It works really well for some but not for others. I think the opks are good enough for me since I have pretty regular cycles. Sometimes it's a guessing game but I temp also so I can confirm my O that way. I used to use the digital opks which are actually really easy to read but after so long I don't want to spend the money on it anymore. And after 2 years I have a pretty good idea of when I should O.

@brit- I totally agree about the taste! I got my pill stuck in the back of my mouth last night and it was horrible. Glad to be done as well

I am on day 3 of 150 mg of clomid and I haven't had any side effects :/ I had side effect with 50 and progesterone was 9 then no side effects with 100 progesterone 5.4. Does anyone not have side effects and still get good ovulation. I am just afraid it is not working again ....

I just took my second pill this morning and I haven't had any side effect yet either. What is a good progesterone number? I've also heard that if you take the "day 21" test too early (not a full 7 days post ovulation) that the results can be inaccurate. Has anyone else heard this? I do plan on using OPKs this cycle. I'm not really sure if they work for me. I do ususally get a positive reading each cycle, but since my AF is all over the place, I'm not sure if they really work on me or not. I'm hoping the clomid makes my cycle more regular, so it's easier to plan when to get down to business!

@exctd: I always wanted to but the Clearblue fertility monitor but my period are anywhere from 35 to 41 day cycle.
Good luck.

@amanda: it seems like other people have gotten positive results without side effects. Hopefully everything works out.

@sacto: I am not sure if Clomid helps with cycle length. I hope so my periods are super long. When are you starting OPKs?

I take my last pill today (CD 9).... The only side effect was a headache and feeling tired. But I am hoping this works. I am very positive this month. When is everyone starting OPKs? I am thinking to wait a few days from now.

Dr, I am starting my opks tomorrow cd 9 since I took mine days 3 to 7 but I don't usually get a positive until day 15 :) consult appointment tomorrow with Re and I am so excited! :) I pulled out my ovacue fertility monitor this round to try to pinpoint ovulation as well... I bought it before I was diagnosed with pcos to figure out if I was ovulating

I start using the OPK at Day 8. My period can be anywhere from 24-35 days, so I start early and go through a lot of OPK tests! My doc told me that clomid will help regulate my cycle and should make me ovulate at the same time monthly, around day 14. Hoping this is true.
